Earth, Sun and Moon

1) What Will Happen to Earth if the Sun Disappears Suddenly From Space?

  • Yes, the Sun is the biggest, has the strongest gravitational force, and controls the orbits of every object in the solar system.
  • But the distance between Sun and Earth varies considerably compared to the Moon. The gravitational force varies with the distance between two celestial bodies.
  • Since Moon is closer to the Earth, its gravity plays a significant role in the formation of tides and waves on Earth.
